- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.2 Gone! short and outside off and the batsman tries to hook that, finds the top edge of her bat instead. The ball is up in the air and Tahuhu decides to claim her own catch. She runs to her right and puts in a late dive to take that catch. The dangerous Matthews is gone. Faster ball that surprised the batsman 10/22.5 edged it!, good length and the angle this time gets the outside edge of the batsman. She looks to poke at it and pays the price for it. Sharp, low catch from the wicketkeeper Rachel Priest. A duck for Kycia Knight in her first match of the World Cup 9/116.1 Hits her on the pads, and she's gone too! full on middle stump, she looks to sweep it but misses it thoroughly, plumb in front of middle, the umpire has no hesitation to raise her finger. Easy decision. 53/317.2 chipped into the lap of short midwicket! Lobbed up in the air on middle and leg, teases the batsman into swinging at it. She does not get all of it and spoons it to the fielder 53/516.2 Kasperek strikes either side of the drinks break. It looks like WI haven't recovered from Sunday's hangover. This was liberally tossed up outside off, the batsman loads up for a big drive. Instead, she chips it back to the bowler. Kasperek takes it with both hands 53/427.2 full and outside off, drifts away, drags the batsman out of the crease and beats the outside edge. The keeper whips the bails off in a flash. Tight, tight call 91/639.1 and immediately breaches through Knight's defences. Back of a length, Knight misjudges the bounce, goes for a wild hack across the line. She doesn't make contact; Huddleston does, nailing the off stump 135/832.4 Crashes into off stump! full and on off stump, the batsman gives it a big hoick but misses that completely, the ball goes straight through after pitching and the gap between bat and pad is too much. Crashes into off stump. Another duck 108/741 pitched up and outside off, possibly a slower ball, Mohammed's eyes lit up, but feet stiffen. She drills it straight to cover. WI nine down 140/943 very full and angled in from around the wicket, swerves in from wide of the crease, Peters plays a long way across her front pad and is pinned in front of middle. Was it heading down leg? The umpire, Holdstock, doesn't think so and slowly raises his finger 150/10Extras15 (lb 2, w 13)TOTAL150 all out (43 Overs, RR: 3.48)Fall of wickets: 1-9 (Kycia Knight, 2.5 ov), 2-10 (Hayley Matthews, 4.2 ov), 3-53 (Stafanie Taylor, 16.1 ov), 4-53 (Deandra Dottin, 16.2 ov), 5-53 (Chedean Nation, 17.2 ov), 6-91 (Merissa Aguilleira, 27.2 ov), 7-108 (Shanel Daley, 32.4 ov), 8-135 (Kyshona Knight, 39.1 ov), 9-140 (Anisa Mohammed, 40.6 ov), 10-150 (Akeira Peters, 42.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR14.5 No century for Priest! She walks off to warm applause. Tossed up outside off, right in the slot for the drilled drive. Priest hits it on the up and holes out to extra cover 120/115.1 skids on fuller on middle and leg, the length wasn't quite there for the slog-sweep.
